Now here’s a treat: two Jason Brooks wall­pa­pers from his time at Fierce Angels. He’s left now, and Fierce Angels have taken on Jason Jaroslav Cook to cre­ate their covers.

The first wall­pa­per is taken from the beau­ti­ful Jason Brooks illus­tra­tion on the web­site of Fierce Angels, from their septem­ber 2006 re-style. A beau­ti­ful dark angel, with a big sword, high heeled boots and a thun­der­ous sky above her. What more could you want?

Next up is a disco girl, taken from the cover of a Fierce Angels CD, Fierce Disco, in stores from 16th of April 2007. Somewhat less dra­matic, but still nice to have if you’re a fan of the style.

I’ve been listen­ing to Simon Jobling’s One Phat DJ, the excel­lent funky, sexy, house music pod­cast series. You should too. Twice a month, he out­puts more than an hour of wicked house tunes. Give the April 2008 Crescendo one a try for instance. Of course, this is com­ing from someone who’s “musical com­pat­ib­il­ity rat­ing” on last.fm is “Super” with One Phat DJ :)

So back to the sub­ject of this post: wall­pa­per. I reg­u­larly fea­ture wall­pa­per of house music I like, or rather wall­pa­pers based on the art­work of house music that I like. Now appar­ently, I have the need to cre­ate a wall­pa­per out of everything I open in pho­toshop. I was sup­posed to be cre­at­ing a cover for an upcom­ing pod­cast of One Phat DJ, when I real­ised I wasn’t busy cre­at­ing a cover at all — it was a wall­pa­per! So while that means I had to go back to the draw­ing board, I still thought it’d be nice to share it with all of you.

The “One Phat DJ — Pro” wall­pa­per is based on a Sam Hardacre sketch of the One Phat DJ char­ac­ter as fea­tured on the April ’08 Warm Up cover. While it’s obvi­ously inspired by the NBA logo, this style seems to be used for a lot of pro sports now, even pro gaming!

It’s avail­able for down­load in both wide-screen and square format. Feel free to use this wall­pa­per at home or at work, but please don’t redis­trib­ute (just link here).

Enjoy!

When Hed Kandi cre­ator Mark Doyle sold the label was forced to let go of the label [thanks for the cla­ri­fic­a­tion Mark] to Ministry of Sound, he left to start is own label with illus­trator Jason Brooks. Although the res­ult­ing label, Tokyo Project, is gone and a new one, Fierce Angels, has taken its place, there’s still art­work left from Tokyo Project!

Quite beau­ti­ful art­work too I might add. This par­tic­u­lar image was extrac­ted from the 2005 launch-parties’ flyer design, which was pos­ted on the web­site back then. All I’ve done is crop it and extend it a bit, so all credit should still go to the afore­men­tioned Jason Brooks. So without fur­ther ado:

This is the full 1280×1024 adapt­a­tion, with a nice roun­ded white bor­der run­ning at the top and left.

And for smal­ler screens (like my own) I’ve cre­ated a 10×7 ver­sion, which is slightly cropped com­pared to the ori­ginal. Enjoy them both!

Fierce Angels is awe­some. Inspiring. Makes you dance. Makes you groove.

Their music is reg­u­larly high­lighted by Simon Jobling in his One Phat DJ pod­cast, so I thought it might be nice to high­light the art­work asso­ci­ated with Fierce Angels (and Tokyo Project & Hed Kandi before). The artist in ques­tion is none other than the ever excel­lent — and mas­ter of vec­tor illus­tra­tion — Jason Brooks.

For your enjoy­ment, a wall­pa­per on the cover art of the ‘Digital Angel’ CD release by Fierce Angels.

Artwork was alas from a heav­ily arti­fac­ted jpeg (clear­ing up was one hell of a job I’ll tell ya) but Jason Brooks’ mas­ter­ful­ness should still shine through.

Different sizes are avail­able: 14×9 Widescreen, 10×7 Smallscreen, 12×10 Bigscreen, .
